Your very welcome.. Just know everything is going to go great.. And when it's all said and done you will end up on the losers bench.. Never thought you would see the day when that statement was a great thing, huh? Lol..

Yeah I have always been big I don't remember ever being a size 14 and I am only 25. I know some people don't have to diet and I find that crazy. My dr only wanted me to do 3 day liquid but I think I am going to start tomorrow which qould be 4 just to be safe. That makes me nervous though reading on here people are doing 2 weeks.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
